So, please keep your eyes open for e-blasts coming your way. Also, I am very pleased to announce AMPAS has released the dates for their Oscar celebrations for the next couple of years and they are turning back the clock. While just two weeks earlier this year, the ripple effect of this year's Oscar date affected many professional organizations, including our own. Indeed, the February 9, 2020, date of this year's Oscars will be the earliest show ever. As a result, our award date of January 25, 2020, is abnormally early. But there has been much good to come out of the recent re-examination of schedules and eligibility periods. This year, the CAS has addressed a longtime concern we have received from our members who mix for television. In the past, our eligibility period was annual but our entry deadline was in the fall. This meant that folks that were booked on last-quarter mixes, this could include mid-season episodes, finales, limited series, late-season airing series, or television movies and specials, were not able to choose from their complete catalogue of work to enter for a CAS Award. So now, in an effort to allow for the inclusion and recognition of all of your work, the eligibility period after the entry deadline has been decreased. This means that this year, we will have a smaller eligibility period for television contenders of January 1, 2019, and October 31, 2019. But, the timeline for next year will be November 1, 2019, through October 31, 2020. Providing an eligibility period that ends close to our entry deadline allows more members of the television community to have the opportunity to complete, submit their work, participate, and be celebrated. This is not only similar to The Television Academy model but this same change was also made this year by our sisters and brothers at American Cinema Editors (ACE). It is our hope that this new schedule will herald a period of increased participation from our members. The nominees for the 71st Emmys in Sound Mixing have been announced and CAS members are dominating the competition. Please join me in congratulating the following members on their nominations: Elmo Ponsdomenech CAS, Benjamin Patrick CAS, Dean Okrand CAS, Brian R. Harman CAS, Stephen Tibbo CAS, Michael Hoffman CAS, John W. Cook II CAS, William Freesh CAS, William MacPherson CAS, George A. Lara CAS, Mathew Price CAS, Ron Bochar CAS, Sylvain Arseneault CAS, David Michael Torres CAS, Felipe 'Flip' Borrero CAS, Larry Benjamin CAS, Brett Voss CAS, Benny Mouthon CAS, Ronan Hill CAS, Mathew Waters CAS, Onnalee Blank CAS, Phillip W.

Finally, I would like to recognize Matt Foglia CAS, Quarterly editor in chief, assisted by Stephen Tibbo CAS, Publishing Committee chair, and Carol Thomas, our organizational manager, on this—their inaugural issue of the CAS Quarterly. The CAS is indebted to you for your hard work. Hoping to see you all soon at upcoming events. Karol Urban CAS MPSE President T H E P R E S I D E N T ' S L E T T E R
